Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday in November 29th, 2003, stand up for your country. Remember, let's go back, okay? Let's go back to 2016 and the run-up two. Remember that time? It wasn't that long ago, but, you know, members get hasty. America was in the mood for change, and that's why Donald Trump won the Republican nomination

and subsequently the election. That old-time pals, like Jeff Bush and Hillary Clinton, America's had had enough at that point, after eight years of Barack Obama, which was a bureaucratic situation. Okay. So now we find ourselves in the exact same situation. situation in 2023, going into 2024. Americans have had enough of the Biden administration. Every single poll shows that.

And the policy, the policy failure on the part of President Biden is vivid. The only people who will not acknowledge it are the people who don't want to believe it. But if you are a clear thinker at all, you know. You got prices for essentials up 18% on his watch. You got unregulated southern border. You've got massive amounts with narcotics. You've got social disorder. You got chaos overseas.

It never ends. Record spending by the federal government, record debt. So it's just one after another. So people want to change. They want to change. So we here at the NOSPN News are going to devote most. of our time in the next 12 months to chronicling a very poor presidential election next November 24 and we're going to do it in a different way because that's what all cable news is

going to do is this and every day you're going to hear a bunch of bilge B-I-L-G-E about this or that and this and that I'm not going to do that we're going to give you real facts in all 50 states And what we're really percolating in those states and why? Because it is the states that elect the president. And, you know, you can believe that the election was a fraud. I did a message of the day this morning that said, you know, President Trump made a big mistake by not appointing a special counsel to look into that election. While he could, he could have done that.

Because he was in office for two and a half months before Biden took over and he didn't. And that was a huge mistake historically. Anyway, one of the big items that Americans are just fed up to hear with is the illegal immigration and all the money that is going to Ukraine and overseas. And they're now combined, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So the White House wants a Secure the Border Act. It sounds ridiculous, but they're putting that out because they know that President Biden's getting killed on immigration. They don't really want it. And how do I know that?

Because the majority leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, doesn't want it. Schumer calls it a partisan border policy. All it is is tightening up asylum claims. That's all it is. Now, for me, that's not nearly enough. I'm President Biden, I sign an executive order. We're suspending all claims, suspending for a year until we can adjudicate the ones we have now and clean this thing up. Nobody in on asylum in a year.

I'm sorry if that's mean, but we are overwhelmed. That's what a responsible president would do, but we don't have that. We don't have a responsible Democratic Party either. And we have a lot of irresponsible Republicans. Well, we do. I mean, this McCarthy boot out was, that was just absurd. So, now we have debates in the House and the Senate on try to get a compromise. So the Republicans say, we will give Ukraine more money if you Democrats tighten up the asylum rules.

It's as simple as that. That is what is being discussed. Okay. The Democrats don't want to tighten up the asylum rules, but they will if they think it'll help Biden and their election chances in 24. Publicans, a lot of them, don't want to give any money, more money to Ukraine. That's a mistake, in my opinion, but they don't want to. So now, there is no bill.

You've got to understand this. There's no bill in a house. There's no bill that has not been written yet. It's just yapping. Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. But it's important yapping. Now, some facts. The USA has given Ukraine up to this point, according to the Associated Press, $45 billion with more on the way.

Okay? NATO has given Ukraine $35 billion for a total of $80 billion flowing into that small country to fight Putin. All right. they're going to need another $80 billion, at least, to fend off Putin because Putin, he'll spend unlimited amounts of money and take unlimited casualties, which he's doing, all right, to conquer Ukraine because it's all about Putin. It's not about Russia, it's not about you, it's about him. And he's not going to be humiliate. All right. As far as the border is concerned, asylum requests under Biden as of September 15th this year, 2003, all right,

732,000. Formal request. No one could adjudicate that, which is why you need to suspend. 732,000. Most of those people are in the wind because the Biden administration lets them in. They're not waiting in Mexico. They're not waiting in their home country. They're here. 732,000. In the four years under Trump, there were 374,000. So in three years, the Biden is 400,000 more. You see what this open border does. And that doesn't count people that are running in here, people that are, uh, claim asylum, they just showed up, and the Border Patrol let them go, Homeland Security let them go. Doesn't count any of those people. So this thing is totally out of control. What about the money? Well, according to the House Committee on Homeland Security, this is costing

Americans $451 billion a year. Whoa. So we're giving Ukraine $45 billion, 10 times more money is being spent by state and federal governments on migrants, here illegally. It's almost a half trillion dollars a year. Okay? This is insane. And that's where our tax money is going. So how anybody could pull a lever for Joe Biden, you've got to be an idiot. All right, you have to be.

And I'm not saying with any due respect at all. About 2,000 migrants are dead trying to get here. Cartels killed them most of them. Some accidents, 2,000 of them dead. And drug seizures at the border up 20% from 22 to 23. And most drugs get through. And this is all on Biden, one man. So the Biden administration knows it's in deep, deep trouble.

It wants the money for Ukraine. Republicans will give it the money if the asylum is tightened up. I expect this to happen. I think despite Schumer, who is an obstacle, Schumer and Harry Reid, remember all Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader from Nevada, he's dead. He was possible. Schumer's just as bad.

But Schumer will come around. When somebody from the White House picks up the phone and says, knock it off, Chuck. That's a memo. President Biden in Colorado, binomics, mobilizing investments. Yeah, okay, sure. He's really there to raise money. That's what Biden is doing in Colorado.

He comes back 8.30 at night. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Nikki Haley, interesting story. So none of the Republican challenges Donald Trump has taken on any momentum at all except for Ambassador Haley or Governor Haley, whatever you want to do, whatever title you want to use. So there are two political action committees now supporting her, Independence Moving the Needle,

and Americans for Prosperity Action. That's run by Coke, billionaire Charles Koch. That's a lot of money for Nikki Haley. Okay, it's coming in. All right, now, cash on hand, the ambassador has 12 million. Donald Trump is 38 million. All right. on hand according to axios here are the polls on nicky haley in iowa trump's got 47 de santa 17 haley 14

in new hampshire trump's got 46 haley 19 pretty strong number and christie 11 south carolina her home state trump's got 49 haley 19 dissantis 11 you would expect haley would do a little bit better in south carolina um because she's that's her home state home territory. Anyway, Nikki Haley probably is the most powerful challenger, but she's not going to usurp Trump. Not going to happen. But she's got money, and she got a little momentum, and the others don't have any. Now, Hannity, I talked to Hannity today about his debate tomorrow night. And I gave him a compliment. I don't think it is anybody else in a country could put it together, Governor DeSantis of Florida and Governor Newsom of California, and they'll be

there with Hannity in a debate situation. And then Hannity and I discuss about how you handle stuff like this. We posted that interview on Bill O'Reilly.com for everybody. You can go watch it and listen to it. Anyway, this is a big chance for DeSantis tomorrow night. And then the next week is a Republican debate. News Nation will carry that. I'll be, you know, involved in that mix. I'm not going to do the debate, but the analysis. So Haley and DeSantis are going to get some exposure in the next 10 days. But I don't think it's going to do a lot of good. I think that the MAGA supporters are so fiercely loyal that Trump will ride all this out.

Now, Trump got another endorsement. This is so strange. This is really weird. So there's a guy in Rhode Island named Mark Fisher. He's a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Rhode Island. Now, Black Lives Matter is about as progressive as you can get. He's endorsed Trump. Roll the tape.

We've been used and abused for so long at that party. They don't value our vote. Their policies are basically racist policies. I believe it's a racist party that strikes at the heart of the black family and the nuclear family in general. And I believe Donald Trump is the opposite. So he's calling the Democratic Party a racist party. Now, because the interviewing skills of most people on television are so poor,

we don't know why. But I had my crack staff dig it out. Number one, Mark Fisher, the Black Lives Matter guy, objects to abortion. He's a pro-life guy. Okay. Number two, he's a capitalist. And he wants African-Americans to be able to be able to. to create wealth, not be dependent on the government. Number three, he doesn't like defunding the

police, even though that's a Black Lives Matter tenant. I don't know how that squares. Maybe we get this guy on. I'm talking to my producers now in the booth. Put in a call of Fisher for next week. Maybe we get him on so I can sort this out. Anyway, he doesn't like sanctuary cities either, So this Black Lives Matter guy leader in Rhode Island is endorsing Trump. Boy, I talk about strange bedfellows, right? Okay. Now, yesterday I told you that in Connecticut, they wanted to ban gas driven cars by 2035, and I told you it was unconstitutional.

No state can do that. So today, Governor Ned LaMontagos, who's watching, to no spin news and listening on WABC radio, which carries us at 9 p.m. He said, no, we're not going to do it now. Look, no government can come in and tell you that you can't have something that doesn't violate public safety. If it violates public safety, then they can do it. So you can't have a bazooka, all right? Can't have a mortar, a functioning. want because it's too dangerous. But a car that we have had now for more than a century running on gas, yeah, theoretically it's dangerous to the planet, but you can't do that because that sets

up a dictatorship. You can have this, you can't have that. So this isn't hard. And Ned Lamont, a Democrat in Hartford said, no, we're not going to do that now. Good. Walt Disney. So yesterday there was a meeting held in New York City with CEO Bob Iger, who's a very liberal man. So in one year, Disney's stock has dropped from 105, no, has dropped 105 points. Sorry to laugh. It's now at about 91 bucks. 105 points. So it's close to 200 a year ago, and now it's 91. That's not good if you have, and you know how many pensioners have Disney stock in their

portfolios? And the thing is, it's a disaster. It's an absolute disaster. So my theory, and it's just that I'm not a economist, is that Disney, by Disney, by taking the side of the woke people in Florida who wanted to introduce to seven, eight-year-old, nine-year-old children explicit sexual material. That's what they wanted to do in Florida. Disney sided with that crew. And of course, DeSantis and the Florida legislature passed laws against it. But Disney was on the other side. of that because they are in Disney World in Orlando.

They, okay, yeah, you know, six, seven, eight years, nine years of a whole public school. Yeah, you can get all this stuff. Get all this gay stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. So millions and millions and millions of traditional Americans saw that. And they remember it. So therefore, the Disney Corporation is not doing the business it used to do.

It's movies are bombing, and all of that. It's television operation Disney Plus not doing that well. The park still do well, because when the kid comes up to you, I want to go to Disney World or Disneyland, I mean, I want to go, I want to, you're going to take them. I took my urchins. The kid back then, it wasn't a problem with Disney. Not as a problem. But if I had a 7, 8-year-old kid who was pining to go there, I would probably take them.

So those parks are doing okay, but everything else is a disaster. And I think it's because of the woke business, but I could be wrong. Joining us now from Charlotte, North Carolina is Paul Chesser. He is the Director of Corporate Integrity Project for the National Legal and Policy Center. They watch corporations, that's what integrity means, corporate integrity, see how they behave. So am I wrong here, Mr. Chesser? No, no, not at all, Bill. You know, there's a lot more to it beyond Disney weighing in on the side of that law or against the law that was passed by Governor DeSantis and the legislature in Florida.

They're inserting, you know, Chris Rufo, the investigative journalist, was fed information from whistleblowers inside of Disney that said exposed their producers and directors saying they're going to to intentionally insert pro-LGB material in children's programming and children's movies. And it was not long after that, that battle, and that that stuff was revealed that we saw Lightyear, the sequel, the latest sequel to the Toy Story series, they had created that film without any LGBT significant presence. And what they did was in response to that Florida, uh, uh, uh, uh, bad. battle, they inserted a gay kiss into that movie. And that really, beyond the poor quality of the film, it bombed last summer.

So it's not only weighing in on political issues they shouldn't be involved in, which is what we're about. We're shareholders in Disney, and we call companies to stay out of divisive politics like LGBT and abortion and so forth. It's Disney intentionally applying their social agenda, their LGBT agenda into their programming, and customers there would be customers are running away from it. That was under Chapic, who they fired, all right? That was the CEO. It wasn't there long. They fired him. And now Iger is back.

As I said, he's a very liberal man. And he operates in Hollywood, which you don't get more left-wing. than that. But Iger has kind of toned it down, right? Well, there's more to that story because Iger, Shepak was in power for the equivalent of five minutes in the corporate world. Iger, even though he stepped away from the CEO role, he was still hovering in the background. There's articles in the Wall Street Journal at CNBC that really went into depth on this. Shepak, when the whole Florida confrontation was coming down.

Sheapec did not want to weigh in on it. He wanted to stay out of it and just sort of remain neutral and keep peace until all the California employees raised hell and said, you know, you got to weigh in on this so-called don't say gay bill in Florida and he felt pressured to do so. So Cheapac spoke up about it against probably his better instincts. And that was also driven by a tweet that Eiger had issued from the sidelines in Disney, but still involved saying, you know, this is wrong, this whole Florida bill. So it was really Eiger that forced and pressured the Disney's involvement in that issue.

If it was up to Chepec, he would have stayed out. And then, you know, things sort of fell apart behind the scenes. If you read those articles, Eiger, it gets frustrated with Chepeck and not giving Yeah, I mean, but America is that, yeah, they don't care about that. What they care about is what you raise indoctrination to children by inserting things into children's films that should not be there. So, in your opinion, can Disney make a comeback? I think Bud Light is done forever. Not Anheuser-Busch, they'll survive.

They got other products, but Bud Light's not coming back because of the trans thing they did. Can Disney, when a stock drops a hundred points, 105 points in a year, can they ever come back? Because people aren't going to forget this. They're not going to forget it. Right. That 100 point drop represents a hundred, that's 100% drop. That have the value of their stock. So what I would say is with the latest flops with the marvels and Wish, you know,

You know, Marvel's is somewhat, you know, put women in these superhero roles. You know, there's not a lot of fans, you know, as far as how that's portrayed. One of their top characters in the Marvel's latest Marvel's movie is Kamala. I mean, what does that tell you about, is about Disney's where Disney's mind is at? And then Wish, which is supposed to be a throwback, you know, harken back to some of the popular songs in the previous Disney movies, popular Disney movies. They both have flopped, and it's the height of the Christmas season, a big, big season. for that. But they're not especially, from what I've heard,

they're not especially injected with woke ideology or portrayals. So what I think has happened is Disney has destroyed trust. It's just a matter of trust. Their credibility. The fans, that's right. The fans are staying away. They are. It's hard

to repair that trust. Even though Disney may shy away from that more explicit content, it's going to take a while. And, you know, last year, or earlier this year at the shareholder meeting, we called for the replacement of the whole board because they brought, even though last year Disney was a,

you know, failed as a company that stock had plummeted a year up to a year ago. We said, you know, the board doesn't deserve to return, but you know how it is out there. It is very, very left wing and they protect each other. Mr. Chester, thanks very much. We really appreciate it.

And just on a post script on the story, that's the power of the people. Okay, this is, you know, a lot of, I get a lot of letters, like, I feel so helpless, I feel, you know, I can't defend, you know, I can't defend anyone. No, no. If the American people finally wise up to really what the progressive gender is, and that's why I'm here. That's really the only reason I'm here to try to warn everybody in this country,

the danger of this progressive left movement, of which Disney bought into. So the consumers, the American people, no, once you mess with parenting, that's across the line. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Let's get on through SmartLy. Diabetes and obesity rising in young Americans. No surprise. This is data from the Journal of the American Medical Association, which is credible. So, diabetes in younger people in America, and this is a big, big study, all right, like 50,000 people. No, 13,000. That's a pretty big difference. 209 and 220. Diabetes, diabetes. is up from 3 to 4 percent, obesity from 33 percent to 41. Lots of corpulent folks running around, and then hypertension up from 9 to 12 percent. All of this is sugar. Okay, so if you are a parent or grandparent, you got to get the kids away or the younger people away. So if you go in and you're buying the lattes for seven, eight bucks, I mean, you're just killing yourself. Number one, financially, it's stupid. And you're just dumping that sugar. All right? And there are enough alternative drinks, and I've told you some. Okay? We got brain pop. We got ice.

This ice beverage is very good. No sugar. Okay? No aftertaste. I can't drink the diet. And that's bad for you, too. That diet is off drinks and bad. And they have to taste is terrible. But there are drinks now because there's a big market. But people, they grab this stuff, these energy drinks and all of that. It's a kid, they don't look at the label and see how much sugars in there. And that's what these kids are doing. Go to any deli and you just see what they're racking up.

All right. Now everybody knows that ice cream and candy and cookies and all. And that junk, all right, is going to load you with sugar. But they don't know about the beverages. And that's a smart life tip for everybody. You know, you've got to do your research. Everybody's taste is different. But there is so many now alternatives that don't kill you.

And I've said this before, I'll say it again. When tobacco was known to cause cancers and heart disease, the government launched this unbelievable anti-tobacco campaign. And that's why the smoking in the United States has dropped. we go to Europe, they're all like this, because the government says, don't care. Here, tobacco is, you know, if I see somebody smoking now, I go, whoa, right? But they won't do it for the sugar because the lobby is too powerful. Smart Life.

This day in history, November 29th, 1981, actress Natalie Wood drowns in the ocean off the coast of L.A. near Santa Catalina Island, 43 years old. A lot of people have forgotten about Natalie Wood, but she was a big star in the 1960s. Roll the tape. Come down. No. Maria.

Please. My mother and father will wake up. Just for a minute. A minute is not enough. For an hour then. I cannot. Then forever. Shh.

Come on up. Maria. Momentito, Papa. Now see what you've done. Momentito, Marie. Cacete. Shh. It is dangerous if Bernardo knew.

I will let him know. I'm not one of them, Maria. But you are not one of us. And I am not one of you. All right, Natalie Wood, Rebel Without a Cause. She was in a lot of big films. Now, it's an interesting story. So she's with her husband, Robert Wagner, another actor,

and Christopher Walcott, another actor, and they're on a mini yacht, and the yacht is captain. There's a guy there, okay, and he's taking them around. His name is Dennis Davern. So Wood gets involved with an argument with her husband, Wagner, and I don't know what it was, but they're fighting, and the captain takes Wood off the boat and to a hotel in Catalina. the next morning, Wood comes back. And then that night, and they're all drinking and drugging and doing all that. Okay.

There's another argument, and boom, she's overboard. No life jacket, by the way. All right? They find her a mile from the boat floating in the ocean dead. So the coroner gets it and rules his accidental debt. Okay, like Dennis Wilson of the B-Boy. She fell overboard in Marina del Rey. He was stoned.

He dies. That's what they ruled with Wood. But the captain said, no. He thinks that there was foul play. They reopened the investigation, and last year, in May, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department cleared Wagner and the other guy, Walkin, of any wrongdoing. But the investigation is still open. All right? So that happened.

November 29th, 1980. one. We will take a quick break back with mail and a final thought. Okay, let's get to the mail. Nancy Brenfleck, Prescott, Arizona, Bill I'm outraged that it seems Israel is releasing far more Hamas prisoners than Hamas is releasing of the hostages. Why is that, do you suppose? Obviously, one-sided the biggest advantage is for Hamas. It's never going to be perfect. The fact that some hostages are being released by the terror. A terror group. Not a responsible government. A terror group. So that's the way they made the deal. All right. Obviously, life is far more valuable in Israel and the West than it is in the terror precincts.

They don't care. Jim, sorry, Bill, I don't consider the ceasefire hostage exchange a success, as you said. Number one, I did not say it was a success. I don't know. This is a second day in a row. I've been misquoted. Okay? It was a success. It's a necessity if you want to get those people out.

Not a success. The whole thing is a debacle. Anyway, if you believe that you can negotiate with al-Qaeda or ISIS or Hamas or Hezbollah in a reasonable, rational way, you're out of your blank in mind. You can't do that with Putin. Putin's still holding a Wall Street Journal reporter. The American over there. You can't reason with these people.

They're not going to be fair. You save as many lives as you can save. Stephen Barron Fiend, Parkfield, Maryland. The holding of classified material by President and Vice President Joe Biden was supposed to be investigated by Special Counsel Robert Hur. we have not heard anything almost a year later but we have stephen you missed it her says he's not going to prosecute by does he was irresponsible but he's not going to do anything else that's what her says anybody surprised daniel zabel wheeling illinois hey bill is there anyone in the

Biden cabinet that can tell the truth. I'm serious. If you could let me and I'm sure others who listen to you know via the no-spin news, that would be great. These people do what they're told to do. That's it. It's not like there's independent thinking, but all administrations are like that. Meaning, you know, the spokesperson is not going to go against Biden and neither are any of his cabinet people. So telling the truth, I don't think that's a top price. priority in the federal government. Bradford Burke, Rockport, Missouri. A few years ago, I started donating to the Independence Fund and

Delta Rescue, but after you discuss them on the NoSpin News, but you now say you don't donate to Independence Fund anymore. They had a change in management and independence fund. Okay, I'm not confident in that management. My job to analyze because I give it my own money. I'm not saying I'm doing anything wrong. I am saying that they have fulfilled their mandate. Everybody who needed a track chair, every vet and cop, disabled, got one.

Okay? My fundraising, more than $30 million. And I gave my own money. But now it's different. Delta Rescue is a different story, too, because they've gotten stronger, in my opinion. this is a really good outfit if you care about animals and of course we do here and i'll have an update on holly the terra dog tomorrow by the way a lot of you have been writing about her uh she was very ill and she uh is making a comeback but we'll we'll discuss it

um but anyway i am on board with delta rescue and i think if it is a very worthy charity but also your local aspca where you can walk in and see don't forget that Diane Ajanich, Cheyenne, Wyoming. My husband went to a restaurant in Colorado. Cheyenne's just north of Colorado. He was charged $12 for cocktail $350 for ice and a fee for the increase in the pay of the wait staff. I was told Colorado passed a law to help pay for the increase

in their employees pay. Look, I don't care what Colorado did, or Wyoming. Your husband paid $1550 for a cocktail? He should be sleeping in the garage. No. No. $3.50 for ice? Come on.

You guys got to draw the line here. Always ask how much stuff costs, by the way. I love these waiters to come up with the specials. And we have salmon croquet. How much is it? You know, I ask. Then everybody looks at me like, ooh. Jim Bissella, playing me.

of you in New York, loved your idea about tracking down old friends for holiday cards. One of my cousin hosts a party during December, and beside getting to see one another again, I really cherish the do you remember stories we all share. Listen, it's a great tip, okay?

Eric Eisenhower, Dallas, Texas. I took your advice and bought my, of the gift for president, premium membership to Bill O'Reilly.com. Excellent.

Word of the day, not be odious, O-D-I-O-U-S. Don't be odious. Back in a minute with some good news about killing the witches. Here's the final thought of the day, killing the witches, my latest book. After two months, is sold 200,000 copies.

In this day and age, in two months, to sell 200,000 units, as they say, almost impossible. People don't read as much as they used to read. This book is on fire. It has been nominated for Best History Book of the Year by Good Reeds. Okay? Now, if you want to vote, if you think it's the best history book of the year, you go to billowryly.com. We have a link. So you just link right on over.

But, but, this is a big but. Come back to me. If you have not read Killing the Witches, please don't vote for it. We don't want to win like that. If you have read it for most of it, and you think it's the best history book that you've read this year, please vote.

Goodreads is an honest outfit, and so will we. And I appreciate your loyalty. Well, I didn't read it yet, but I'll vote for it anyway. but we don't want to win that way. We want you to enjoy killing the witches. Learn a lot about the foundation of your country and this witch hunt that's occurring today. You know, I said on a radio,

and it's absolutely true on WABC this morning. There isn't a man in the United States, not one, that's safe from accusation. Somebody wants to destroy you. there's a lawyer lined up to take that case free. They advertise on television. They can lodge anything they want against you. And even if you're not guilty,

your life, your family, your workplace, you know, that's a witch hunt. And we write about that and killing the witches. Ordinary people, not famous people. Ordinary folks, high school teacher, tennis commentator. And what happened to that? But if somebody hates you and wants to get you and you're a man, no protection. None.

I mean, this is such a serious situation. I can't tell you. No solution to it. The media loves it. okay the court system yeah we'll see in three years yeah you better bring a million dollars if you want to hire a lawyer to defend yourself better have a million to do that maybe more Salem was horrible the witch hunt I mean you'll see how horrible it was this isn't taking anybody's life by hanging them from a tree but this is destroying lives

You know, when justice collapses, as it has in the United States, both criminally and civilly, it's collapsed. That's why we need strong new leadership in this country, and that's why we're going to concentrate on the 2024 election. Tell everybody about the no-spin news. We always appreciate you watching and listening, and we will see you again tomorrow.
